Narrated `Abdullah bin Maghaffal: that he saw a man throwing stones with two fingers (at something) and said to him, Do not throw stones, for Allah's Apostle has forbidden throwing stones, or e used to dislike it. `Abdullah added: Throwing stones will neither hunt the game, nor kill (or hurt) an enemy, but it may break a tooth or gouge out an eye. Afterwards `Abdullah once again saw the man throwing stones. He said to him, I tell you that Allah's Apostle has forbidden or disliked the throwing the stones (in such a way), yet you are throwing stones! I shall not talk to you for such-and-such a period.
